How to automate server protection with the Imunify Products Family

Running a web hosting business is … challenging. You need to host sites implemented with many different supporting technologies, covering a wide variety of business sectors. And you need to choose an all-encompassing, well-integrated security solution, with a particular focus on the needs of web hosters. The new Imunify ProductsFamily is that solution.

CloudLinux built it with deep knowledge of the hosting industry’s problems: website integrity and security. Any of the following questions ever cross your mind?

How do you keep servers up to date with the latest security patches? And how do you do it automatically, with zero downtime and minimal intervention?

How do you ensure file systems and web applications are free of malware and viruses, not just when scanned, but all the time?

How do you protect systems from illegal infiltration without inconveniencing legitimate connections?

Here’s how the components of the Imunify security suite implement this strategy.

Find

There’s no way of being sure a system is free from malware without first scanning it. On a typical hosting server, half to one third of websites are infected. And most infections aren’t detected for 200 days or longer. A full, thorough scan is essential to set a baseline for backup and restore in the event of infection.

Keeping a system updated is the most widely cited advice for improving system security. Many breaches are the result of the exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities.

Imunify QuickPatch scans and detects outdated and vulnerable packages. Then, gives instructions on how to remedy any issues found.

Fix

Security’s too important to leave to human procrastination. Fixing issues automatically is the future. Hackers automate many attacks, so malware cleanup must have the same approach.

ImunifyAV+ is the premium edition of ImunifyAV. It scans and detects malware, then cleans it with a one-click operation. You get a full report of anything found, in the dashboard or via email.

If this sounds familiar, it should. CloudLinux acquired Revisium because it is the most efficient and accurate malware scanner around. The Revisium Antivirus engine was renamed ImunifyAV and integrated into Imunify360.

Imunify QuickPatch has a Premium version, Imunify QuickPatch+, which automatically resolves system configuration and package issues.

QuickPatch was previously Opsani VCTR, which they acquired because it fit perfectly into the: Imunify Products family. The rebranding of Revisium and Opsani VCTR will continue as we knit them more tightly into the Imunify Security Suite. But you can be sure they’ll lose none of their original power and versatility.

Protect

No single technology can protect against sophisticated and coordinated cyber attacks. That is the credo behind the multi-layer security model implemented in Imunify360. Scanning and detection are not enough. You also need the following.

An intelligent, AI-powered web application firewall (WAF), with ‘herd immunity’ rules, built by gathering and collating threat intelligence info from around the world. It should be condensed into efficient blocking rules with a low rate of false-positives.

Maintaining a high level of system security doesn’t have to be a full-time job. Hackers automate their attacks and your defense should be automated too. That’s the key principle behind the comprehensive protection components in the Imunify Products Family.
